Mingmen Family

Chapter 279 Putting the Bait

Everyone received Ye Ruhui at the second gate.

Ye Ruhui is the first child of Ye Chongming and Mrs. Ye, who is over 40 years old this year.

Yun'er was in the capital, and Ye Yaming asked him to inquire about the situation of Ye Ruhui's husband's family.

Ye Ruhui's husband's family name is Su, and the old man Su met Ye Chongming when he was young when he was doing business.Both felt that the other was a good character, and both wanted to expand their business in the city where the other lived, so they got married.

Men look for marriages for their children differently than women.A man always thinks his friend is good, and seeing his son again, he thinks it's also good, so he makes a marriage.Will not consider others.

As a result, Ye Ruhui only found out after she got married that her mother-in-law was not easy to get along with. There were a lot of father-in-law, wives and concubines, and there were many children from concubines. The family had many conflicts and complicated relationships.

As the eldest daughter-in-law, she is soft-tempered, unable to help her mother-in-law in the struggle between wives and concubines, and is disliked by her mother-in-law.The first child born was a daughter.In order to grab the position of eldest grandson, her mother-in-law took a concubine for her husband before she was confinement.

Therefore, Ye Ruhui's life in the Su family was really not going well.She also lacked skills, and hadn't returned to her natal family for many years, but Ye Jiaxing, the grandson of Ye's patriarch, went back when she got married.If Ye Yaming hadn't married and came to the capital, I'm afraid I won't be able to see this eldest aunt.

Originally women like them in the inner house were pampered, served by servants and did not need to work, so they looked younger than women outside.Like Yin's nearly forty years old, he looks like he is in his thirties.

But Ye Ruhui looked older than her actual age.There are heavy bags under the eyes, many fine lines on the face, and there are many gray hairs in the hair.

She was wearing a light brown dress, royal blue trousers, and not much jewelry on her head, and she came with a woman and a maid.

Seeing Yin Shi squatting down to salute, she quickly pulled her back: "Second brother and sister, don't be too polite." Then she said to the three girls who were saluting: "Get up quickly."

When Yin Shi and the others stood up, she looked at Ye Yaming and said, "This is Ming'er, right? She looked like a beauty when she was young, and she will become even more beautiful when she grows up. She is so beautiful that she will blind my aunt."

Afraid that the two little girls behind would be unhappy, she added: "These two are also very pretty."

As she said that, she paused, looked at Ye Yayin, then at Ye Yayu, and felt that the two girls were about the same age, but they looked different, and their height was also somewhat different.

She turned to look at Yin Shi, and was about to ask in surprise, when Ye Yaming hurriedly said: "Auntie, this is Yayin, this is Yayu."

As she spoke, she blinked at Ye Ruhui.

Ever since Mrs. Cai was sent out of the Ye family, no one dared to mention her in front of Ye Yayu. At the very beginning, Ye Yayu cried and wanted to find her mother. I don't know what her nanny told her. Later, she stopped looking for her. Cai is no longer mentioned.

Ye Ruhui understood Ye Yaming's eyes, and said hastily, "So it's Yayin and Yayu. They're so old, even Eldest Aunt doesn't recognize them."

"Sister, let's go in and talk." Yin said.

"well."

After entering the hall and sitting down, Ye Ruhui added makeup to Ye Yaming, a pair of head jewelry.

Ye Yaming naturally wanted to be polite.

Ye Ruhui quickly grabbed her hand, and said: "Ming'er, you don't have to be polite to Eldest Aunt. If you marry well, Eldest Aunt will also be able to take advantage of you. You don't know, you know that the person you are going to marry is Xuanwuhou Shizi, my mother-in-law They don’t dare to vent their anger on me at will.”

Not only her mother-in-law, but her husband who doted on his concubine's room and stayed away from her room for a long time also treated her differently.

She said it poignantly.

Ye Yaming said: "Big aunt's fortune is yet to come. I heard that my cousin is smart and capable, and my uncle values ​​him very much. When he gets married, you can just wait and enjoy the blessing."

Ye Ruhui gave birth to two daughters before she gave birth to a son.Her son is two years younger than Ye Yaming.

Mr. Su had the eldest son first, and then the youngest son—this shows that the Su family has no rules.A few years ago, Ye Hongchang was stationed in the capital, and he often walked around with Su Ruhui, so that Elder Su didn't treat his wife too much.

In the past two years, the Ye family's business has grown bigger and bigger. Ye Yaming even got engaged to the nobles in the capital. Master Su's attitude towards them has changed a lot.

Fortunately, her son is smart and motivated, Ye Ruhui finally has something to look forward to in the rest of her life.

"Yes, yes." Yin Shi also said a few good words.

Seeing Ye Ruhui's life, Yin was also very grateful.In fact, Ye Ruhui's life is the life of most women nowadays: being angry with her mother-in-law, competing with concubines for favor, and desperately trying to have a son.

Yin Shi was extremely glad that she married into the Ye family and married Ye Hongsheng.

If, like her, she never conceived after giving birth to two daughters, then she would have no place to gain a foothold if she married into a family like the Su family.Thinking about it this way, even if Ye Ruhui had a son, he might not have had a better life than her.

……

A few days later, the Meng family.

"What's the matter? Has Ye Yaming not gone out yet?" Seeing that Ye Yaming and his party have been in the capital for seven days, Jiaxing and Jiawang are still reporting that she hasn't gone out, and Jiaan is urging her every day , Meng Xianzong really couldn't sit still.

After Ye Yaming got married, he didn't have the guts to do this.Being discovered, the punishment is completely different.You must know that it is the order of the fourth rank of the imperial court.

"No." Jia Xing lowered his head and replied, his thoughts had already drifted elsewhere.

In the past, before the Meng family fell, he and Jia Wang met the young master of a small landlord's family. The three of them shared the same interests and often plotted against others together.Recently, he found that the other party was generous, and his brows were full of high spirits.As soon as he inquired, he realized that this guy made a fortune by doing business with others.

The two of them were giving gifts and playing emotional cards. It took a lot of effort to find out that the other party had a friend who was in the porcelain business. Because of the recent family troubles and financial difficulties, he was allowed to participate.He doesn't need to buy and sell goods, he just pays, half of each person, [-]% of the profit.

Jiaxing and Jiawang have money at hand, but their deeds are still in the hands of Meng Xianzong. This kind of business that only requires money and no effort is most suitable for him. They are trying hard with their friends and want the other party to take them. , also into a share.

As a result, the other party was unwilling to take them, saying that if the Meng family knew about this, they would definitely make trouble, and he didn't want to cause trouble.

This made Jia Xing and Jia Wang resentful towards Meng Xianzong, and hoped that the matter of the Ye family would be settled soon.

In the end, Ye Yaming was like a tortoise, huddled in the house and couldn't come out.

Seeing Jiaxing like this, Meng Xianzong wanted to get angry.

But thinking that the family still had to rely on them to do things, he could only suppress his anger and said, "You guys think of a way to do this, and see if you can lure her out. Jia'an has been urging her all the time."
